Amun-Re or King Amunhotep III
Egyptian, Classical, Ancient Near Eastern Art
On View: Egyptian Orientation Gallery, 3rd Floor
The crown, which once included two tall plumes, relates this sculpture to Amun or Amun-Re. However, since “Amunhotep III, beloved of Amun-Re” is inscribed on the chest ornament, the figure may represent the king as an earthly manifestation of the god.
